    Aspnaz is deeply subscribed to the Chinese cultural mindset that the group is all important and individual merely a disposable and easily replaceable commodity, that in itself is of little to no consequence or value to the group. In that narrow view he fails to comprehend that the “group” is an abstraction, a shared concept only, which consists entirely of individuals whose individual performance determines the nature and viability of the herd.

    Both viewpoints have significant validity, in that each of the viewpoints is precisely HALF true, but neither of the viewpoints is sufficiently true in itself to fully supplant the other. In other words, it requires comprehension of both viewpoints to understand the truth about human behavior, and hopefully thereby improve it some.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that while aspnaz is not a total idiot, he is most definitely and vociferously and ANNOYINGLY, a textbook example of halfwit.

    P.S.
    Please identify and explain even ONE lie that you think I have told. To the best of my recollection I have told NONE, but I’ve been wrong before and am always ready to correct an error and become even more perfect than I already am.

    @DBS
    If your thesis on psychopaths holds true and becomes widely accepted by psychiatrists and psychologists THEN you’ll be next Kaitlyn Kariko

    I’m confidant that I can postpone writing the acceptance speech for a while, but your exemplary of Kaitlyn Kariko is interesting. Her insights into mRNA showed such awe inspiring intelligence, coupled with gobsmacking irresponsibility for consequences.

    Yer question is my command, so here ya go, a link to https://www.youtube.com/live/Ruv49PYBeds?si=vg0F46UzJkr5BVqm a video wherein one of my favorite human beings, Anna, interviews Scott about Navalny (and other interesting stuff).

    It’s baffling and impossible to successfully negotiate with a psychopath until one truly understands their mindset (which is a pretty damned uncomfortable feat all in itself!), because until you accomplish that you won’t be able to understand them or make them understand you.

    Look at the multi-crisis for example. We don’t believe THEM when they tell us they mean to turn us into livestock and dead stock, and they don’t believe US when we tell them that they better knock it off OR ELSE !

    It doesn’t do much good to tell a psychopath to stop being bad and be good “or else”, because if they do not BELIEVE the “or else” part of it then the threat will have no effect and they’ll just go right on being bad because what they BELIEVE is that you won’t stop them. And so long as you don’t stop them then their estimate that you won’t stop them (which they BELIEVE) also happens to be true and actual. That’s why they believe it, and it is also the entire reason and justification they cling to as proof of their own basic rightness. They are, as you know, as crazy as bedbugs

    Successful negotiation depends on them believing the “or else” part of it, and that depends on it being actually true, and unfortunately that usually depends on carrying through and actually making it true by doing it.

    If you think on that for a while you might notice that in THIS case ( the narrow case in which an “or else” threat is believed by both sides to be a hollow falsehood) it’s the psychopath who’s being rational. Until he is not.

    The mindset of psychopathy is that it is definitively good to do anything they want to do that others don’t stop them from doing. Very very simple. One might even say idiotically simple.

    But not as idiotic as dealing with psychopaths as though they were NOT psychopaths.

    When negotiating terms of acceptable behavior to a psychopath those statements must be presented in such a way that the psychopath BELIEVES them. The “or else” part of the terms should be clearly stated and fully meant. For example: “If you commit a felony you will be physically arrested and put in prison.”

    Ideally these terms are presented as fait accompli. Then the psychopath believes them for sure. Until reality is made manifest to them, however, they will believe that it’s just a bunch of big talk (which it often is) and go right on doing the crime that they’re doing before being so rudely interrupted by their victims’ call for justice.

    So, don’t bother to threaten a psychopath. Just inform and then do.

    Most of us are not ready to do that because we fear (reasonably) that all this might come to force and violence, and know that force, violence and overwhelming the free will of others are wrong. We are right in knowing that such actions degrade everyone involved, and especially those who are driven to such extremes in a last ditch stand against terrible evils that are on the verge of prevailing.

    In a very real sense it is an act of loving self sacrifice that we are willing to resort to such extremes in order to snatch back to safety those teetering or falling into pure evil, because we know that sacrificing our innocence is a very very high price to pay. We pay with a coin much more valuable than our mere lives.

    I know that I’m not telling you anything that you don’t already know, but especially in view of where all this crisis stuff is headed, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded once in a while.

    So, in my mind and parts of my family, the terms ‘businessman’, ‘doctor’, ‘manager’, ‘company man’, ‘capitalist’, ‘salesman’, ‘”conservative’, ‘politician’, ‘banker’, (to name a few) carry far more pejorative value than prostitute or whore ever will.”

    And in my mind, too. Those who denigrate and humiliate their victims are very near the bottom of that Jakobs Ladder I spoke of, and I am not high enough on the ladder to forgive them. May God forgive me, but first those bastards must pay.

    If you continually search for, demand, and accept truth, then you will meet God, because truth and free will are God’s gifts to us. In a very very real sense, God IS truth, and free will is your ability to find it.

    It’s spooky how noodling around inspecting things that were seldom inspected before, you can bump into stuff that was exactly what you had been looking for but didn’t know it.

    For example, aspnaz sneeringly called me Jakob the Jew. So I wondered who was this Jakob character? I knew he was a Biblical figure of some sort (because the name keeps popping up all over our civilization) but other than that I knew bupkis. The rest is history.

    One of the things things Jake is known for (other than the proliferation of Jews) is the so-called “Jakobs Ladder” epiphany. Reportedly he was on the run from a violently ambitious brother and had a dream of Angels climbing and descending a ladder between the Earth and Heaven.

    I understood the metaphorical dream immediately, but I also wondered how other people have interpreted it, so I started noodling around some more. BIG SURPRISE ! Nobody knew, or they had gotten it bass ackwards wrong. And all this time I had assumed that Jews were supposed to be so smart. Hmph!

    What it meant is that people get better (go up the ladder) or get worse (go down the ladder) depending on whether they are engaging (or not) in one of those activities or the other. By going upward, and getting better, one is on their way to “Heaven”. Likewise, by going down the ladder (getting worse) they will eventually arrive on Earth. (and if you were looking for Hell and found Earth, you could stop looking.)

    It’s not a complicated metaphor. It’s childishly simple. Go up and get better, go down and get worse, with an extreme at either end.

    Only a lawyer could get it wrong.

    In synopsis of yesterday’s argument between myself and an evasive fencepost calling himself @aspnaz, he actually (and accidentally, too, I’m sure) makes BOTH of my points for me (and shoots himself in the foot at the same time by calling me “Jakob the Jew.”

    My point I had been making which apparently derailed his brain, is that even though there certainly are so-called “Jews” (a hopelessly ambiguous term in the first place) who conspire to do BAD stuff, THEY ARE NOT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RABBIT HOLE. The have progenitors and masters and teachers who predate the Judeans by many thousands of years (at least).

    You see, Jakob the “Jew” was not a Jew. He was Hebrew (the tribe who spawned Judeans). It was the people that he tyrannized who later went on the to become the Jews that we all know and love so well. And Jakob wasn’t the start of it either, because if you think that Jake was an asshole you should take a look at his mentors and ancestors. What a crew. Better not trust any of them with your dog or your sister.

    Meanwhile, over in China, and without the slightest notion that Hebrews or Jews even exist, the warlords and emperors are having a grand old time slaughtering babies, stacking skulls and writing DIY books for aspiring psychopaths who would also like to master the art of war if they could just learn the bestest fastest way to go about doing it.

    This is not to even mention what was going on over in that other Hemisphere or down in Africa. So let’s just ease back on the throttle a bit with that hair-aflame diatribe about how JEWS !!! (who’ve only been around for maybe 6 thousand years) are the fountainhead SOURCE of all evil. Just stop it!

    And yes, Aspie old boy who can’t grow up, if an EXCEPTION to your absolute statement is proven to be true then your proposed statement is thereby PROVEN to be FALSE, and that’s all there is to it. The action of disproval of a theory is a verb called “falsifying”, and it is one of the foundational corner stones of science (along with things like truth, observation, testing by experiment, and so on).

    Example: The statement that all swans are white was DISPROVEN by the discovery of a million black swans in Australia. Not all swans are white. Not all Jews are bad.

    Why do you suppose that is?

    closing note: if you absolutely must mock me with a demeaning nickname, don’t use Jew Boy. Use Altar Boy, instead. It’s funnier.

    Jewboy Eisenhower starved millions of Germans to death. No fuckin monument to that.”{

    No, he didn’t, although he certainly did assist a lot of Nazis to move from this vale of tears on to their next plane of existence. The starvation charges against Ike are from a scurrilous book that didn’t get published until 19 fucking 89. That’s a little long for such a huge and public crime to be concealed from the GERMAN friends and families who would have been effected by so many deaths. I call bullshit. EXTREME bullshit.

    And wasn’t Jewish either.

    (snitched from the Web) “The Eisenhauer (German for “iron hewer/miner”) family migrated from Karlsbrunn in Nassau-Saarbrücken, to America, first settling in York, Pennsylvania, in 1741, and in the 1880s moving to Kansas. Accounts vary as to how and when the German name Eisenhauer was anglicized to Eisenhower. Eisenhower’s Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors, who were primarily farmers, included Hans Nikolaus Eisenhauer of Karlsbrunn, who migrated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1741.Dwight D. Eisenhower’s lineage includes German ancestors and Swiss German ancestors.”

    I was noodling around in Google, Copilot and chat GPT-4, and stumbled across the peculiarest damn thing. I wouldn’t even bother to mention it except that, as crazy as this sounds, there seems to be a significant probability (not certain, but better than 50/50) that “aspnaz” is the English translation of the Chinese word 阿斯普纳兹 , which means Ashkenazi. Yeah, you read that right. It may be off the wall and wrong, but it’s definitely not a typo

    Could it be that our favorite Jew hater is actually an undercover Ashkenazi Jew with a twisted sense of humor? Naw! Couldn’t be! But on the other hand, it would explain a lot.

    Clear this up for me @aspnaz. What does your handle “aspnaz” stand for? Is chat GPT-4 having a digital breakdown, or are you someone other than you have presented yourself to be?

    PLEASE don’t fly into an abusive conniption fit. Maybe Google screwed things up. Stranger things have happened, and it wouldn’t be the first time. Just answer the question and that will be that.

    No matter how hard @aspnaz tries to deflect attention from himself by baiting me with crude play-ground insults and projecting the truly absurd insinuation that crusty old Dr D is somehow “Woke”, the fact remains that @aspnaz is wrong because his attempted logic wrong. The simple fact is that the conspiratorial crimes of SOME obviously conspiring Jews does not establish the guilt of ALL Jews in either the crimes or the conspiracy. @aspnaz’s insistence that it does prove such sweeping and all inclusive guilt of all Jewish people is simply NOT logical and NOT true.

    Furthermore, his ever increasing strident profanity in promoting his obviously WRONG conclusion is starting to have a negative effect on the general conversation.

    Knock it off, aspie.

    I just thought of a way to cut your car insurance costs to near zero, while at the same time protecting you from expensive collisions.

    Just paint a big poster on each side of your car that reads, “Uninsured, Broke, Short Tempered and Desperate”.
    No one is gonna want to get anywhere near you or your car, resulting in no accidents.

    The Germans had very good reasons for kickin those shitheads out of their country.”

    And how did that work out for the Germans in the short, medium and long term? Looks to me that there are only two possible explanations for the strategic failure to accomplish fuck-all except needless bloodshed. Possibility #1 is that the Germans did a shit job of genocide, and possibility #2 is that they didn’t kill the right people. Knowing what I know about the Germanic propensity for organization, attention to detail and thoroughness, I believe I’m gonna have to go with door #2.

    By your logic, then, it’s all over and I guess that you, we, and every other goyim in the world should just roll over and await the inevitable coming of the Jews

    I’m of a more proactive frame of mind and prefer to stop them, which requires me to know what I’m up against. The first thing I’ve learned about that is that it didn’t start with the Jews and therefore won’t end with them either.

    How did things go after Mr Hitler started killing every living Jew (man, woman and innocent child) that he could get his filthy hands on? Did the world as a whole get a whole lot better or a whole lot worse in the past 80 years or so?

    Looks like it wasn’t just them, then, doesn’t? Such a perfectly conceived genocide of mostly innocent women and children, and all for less than nothing. Sounds to me like your great plan isn’t much more thunk out than his was. Would work about as well, too. It’s like the case of the farmer who thought he could rid his herd of cow-flies by killing every fly that ever flew. Never occurred to him that it might have something to do with the big steaming heap of cow manure that he kept next to the barn.

    Putting all your eggs in one basket has long been known to be a bad idea, yet the owners are insisting that this is what us plebs should do. Can you see a problem here? All eggs in one basket? Come on, we know this is a stupid thing to do, we even have idioms passed down from our ancestors telling us that this is a bad idea, yet the owners are insisting on this plan. I wonder why?”

    At the risk of answering what I suspect is rhetorical question, the reason the owners want to put all of the eggs in one basket is because consolidation requires centralization of control by a smaller and more easily manageable core group of controllers whose entire lives are dependent upon the continual consolidation of the basket. The owners reckon that the entire basket is THEIRS (since they “own” it in the lawfare sense of the word).

    A fringe benefit of this strategy and practice is that the owners of bigger baskets claim a bigger share of the eggs because they see themselves as having bigger value because they own bigger baskets. It’s basically one of those “vicious cycle” kind of thing that we keep running into because we still don’t see that we are proactively participating in the insanity (with more than a little “help” from the Bad Guys.)

    This is probably as good a time as any to just lay everything out on the table, acknowledge that we have a critically important and verified FACT that has to be dealt with, and proceed to deal with it.

    And yes, it has to do with the Jews, but before going any further with that I want to draw everyone’s attention to the fact that the credit goes to @CelticBiker for throwing a brick through our Overton Window. He said the quiet part out loud, as the saying goes, (maybe a little too loud on some occasions) and got us all to talking (or yelling, as the case may be).

    Without dancing around the bush overly long let’s just state the most obvious fact first. The ongoing and intensifying crisis in the world has got something very seriously to do with Jews. Precisely what it has to do with them is ain’t exactly clear, but no matter which critical systems failure you care to investigate you will find a cluster of Jewish persons at or near the top of its power structure and that cluster of fuckers will be up to no good in a serious way.

    The question is, “WHY is that so?”, and the IMPORTANCE of that questions is that your life and the survival of our viable civilization depends on finding and handling the answer to it. Knowing that it is so is not enough. We have to know WHY if we’re going to have any hope of handling it. When clutching a tiger by the tail it is of crucial importance to know everything there is to know about tigers and how to let go of them, and learn it quickly.

    The patently obvious pattern of Jewish involvement in dynastic empires extends far back into the dim recesses of history, so don’t expect a short journey in sussing it all out, but suss it we must. It’s not as if there was some other game in town, or something more important for us to take care of.

    Spending time, treasure or effort on anything other than coming to grips with this (except one’s immediate corporeal and spiritual necessities) would be a very poor and highly advised against investment of limited resources.

    As always, everyone is free to deny or ignore this issue if they so choose. Blessed are they who keep their eyes shut, for they will not see what hits them.

    Because I rather unmercifully forced @aspnaz to see that his logic was faulty he thinks that I have insulted him personally (since there is no other defense possible), and so responds in a deeply personalized way that has descended to the level of epithet you would expect to hear from an angry kid in a sandbox.

    I apologize to aspnaz for pushing the issue that hard, but at the same time I insist that we do not get distracted by that unfortunate display so much that we lose sight of the FACT which triggered the whole piss-fight in the first place.

    To wit, ““Given the irrefutably documented fact that a strikingly disproportionate number of the Bad Guys are hereditary Jews, then WHY is that the case? What sets those individuals apart from the others”

    In other words, just because it’s “The Jews!” does not even remotely mean that it’s ONLY the Jews or even primarily the Jews. Pinning everything on a flunky (in this case the Jews) is the CLASSIC way of escaping justice.

    Don’t let them get away with it this time. Who are they? I suggest digging into the DIFFERENCE between good Jews and bad ones. Who are the bad ones working for that the good ones are not?

    And just ENOUGH already with the nonsense about Semitic surnames being the root of all evil.

    Did I say I was living in Taiwan?

    You haven’t admitted it yet although you have alluded to it many times, including today. So, have you outted yourself in fully explicit confession? Noooooo, but we’re getting closer. I’m curious about why you are so shy to say it out loud. So evasive! Makes me wonder if you’re hiding something. Afraid of upsetting your boss, maybe?

    Okay, so we can call you Jew. Glad we have cleared that up.”

    What’s with this “we” shit? It’s just YOU who want to do that. There ain’t no “we” about it. But I suppose that sneaky misassignment of source is just part of the standard modus operandi for people in your line of work. It’s abundantly clear to anyone reading my reports, observations and opinions for all these months and years that I stridently condemn the crimes of Jews and anyone else who commits atrocities, especially those who conspire with others to commit them (such as Zionists of both Jewish and non Jewish heritage). So why are you working so hard, so deceitfully, and (I must add) so ineffectively to paint some other kind of picture.

    Okay, I get it, you’re tasked with setting up “The Jooz!” to take the fall so that their bosses can escape the noose. But that doesn’t explain why you’ve got such a hard on for me. What’s the matter, am I fucking up your assignment?

    My use of the 谢谢 printed Chinese characters was, of course, just a quickie Google assisted copy & paste, and intended more as a tease than an actual thank you. But thank you just the same.

    You also asked, “Doesn’t that [living in Taiwan] mean I must be something other than a CCP troll? Catch up.”

    Last time I looked, China considered Taiwan to BE China, and about half of the Taiwanese think of it that way, too. The other half are too busy slaving away that they haven’t got the spare time to care about things that they have no way of changing. Which sort are you?

    But to answer your direct question, no. Being in Taiwan does not automatically absolve you of guilt by some geographically conjured magic. If you sing like the CCP then that’s the feather of bird that you are.

    I share the prayer, and remain prepared to be betrayed by my conditionally trusted icons at all times. That would include Tucker Carlson, of course, who despite many promising traits STILL thinks that Israel is a valuable asset to America and should be preserved as an ally and continue to be recognized as a nation in its current form.
    My view on that is, NOPE, absolutely not. He’s got maybe a few more weeks or months to see the error of his ways and CONDEMN Israel for its incorrigible genocidal actions and intent. Otherwise, screw Carlson. I am non-negotiable on this issue.

    The proposed 61 $Billion legislative gift to the Military Industrial Complex is a horrible thing, to be sure, but aside from that awfulness there is still MUCH to be learned from its existence, and not all of it bad.

    For instance, It tells us what it takes to grease those wheels to keep the Cabal running. It takes roughly $60 Billion, roughly every six months (above and beyond ordinary standard annual funding). It also tells us that they have burned through the last gift and desperately need $60 Billion more just to keep the bribes made, the blackmailers paid off, and other pigs-at-the-trough fed well enough to continue in business.

    Another deduction to be gleaned from the proposed legislation is that they are taking it all for themselves. Not much sharing. I guess that means they’re tightening their belts and trimming back all avoidable expenses, but it also means that they’ve had to “lay off” many of the lower level grifters that used to be on the payroll (and who are now disgruntled about being kicked away from the hog trough.

    In other words, despite cutthroat budget cuts, deferred delivery of promises, and staff downsizing they are STILL running $10 Billion a month OVER an already grotesquely bloated budget. So how bad is it? Bad enough that if they don’t get their financing prayers answered then they’re going to go out of business BEFORE the next comes due.

    Think of them like a heroin addict who is already in withdrawal, begging for a bigger fix than the last one that wore off early because it wasn’t big enough to stave off the symptoms.

    Today Tucker Carlson interviews the current Surgeon General of the State of Florida, the link is: https://youtu.be/cYUKR7-NgTQ?si=PbCaZXRf8Q-2OVfk .

    I daresay you have never heard anything like it in your life, at least not in public, by two persons at or near the tip top of the world-wide free public communications structure.

    They get down to brass tacks in the first 10 minutes (yes the VAX is causing heritable DNA ravages to the human genome) and just goes on from there.

    If the Putin interview doesn’t break the internet (and a lot of other things, too) then this interview should do the trick.

    I’ve got a feeling that he’s just getting started and that we ain’t seen nothing yet.

    At this rate, it can’t be long before he address the Zionist genocide of Gazans, head on, and then we’ll just have to see what there is to see about where Mr. Carlson’s ultimate loyalties lay, and the immediate future of this good old home planet we’re sort of stuck on.

    I feel that I should express the definition of Power in a different, even MORE explicit way. The capability of imposing one’s will over the will of others is the very definition of Power. Using it causes one to become corrupt, true, but more fundamentally true and to the core of the point is that power in itself IS corruption. Simply stated, Power is corruption. That’s what the word MEANS. Power is the destruction of life by blocking or removing the free will of others, who of course cannot live well (or at all, ultimately) without it.

    Power starts with the attempt to overwhelm and remove (by numerous methods) the free will of another or many other beings. Consequently it ends when those others are so completely subjugated that they can do nothing without the express permission or order to so, at which point the “powerful” instigator is now, themselves, TRAPPED by the necessity of providing (or denying) the permissions, authority and orders which keep the entire social contraption from ceasing to operate. They can’t stop. And without the voluntary exercise of tremendous quantities of the free will contributions and work of others they can’t continue, either. Nobody’s doing any real creative work. So that’s the end of them, and a bunch of mostly innocent bystanders along with them.

    The pattern is: Power Corrupts. As the soon-to-be-victorious become more powerful and thereby more able to IMPOSE their will over others the tendency is to exercise that power by going ahead and imposing it. After all, if the soon-to-be-victorious have grown to have so much power over others that they can get whatever they want with total impunity because nobody else is powerful enough to stop them, then who could possibly stop them? They just do what they want, and by the time they reach THAT level of power over others they are as arrogant, petty and cruel as personal whim is capable of being, because THAT is what power is.

    Danger! Danger!

    Callous, self-serving, wanton killing is very nearly the final sign. The true final sign is self-destruction.

    Firebombing of Dresden Feb 13, 1945

    And they did that when they were winning, with victorious conquest clearly in sight mere months away. How curious is that?

    There is an historical pattern revealed here. Can you spot what it is?

    That’s a hum-dinger if I ever heard one, so I’ll probably steal it from time to time.

    @aspnaz (and a few others)

    From late in the day and on into the night yesterday

    Well, you guys obviously still don’t grasp the rather simple (but vitally basic) point that I was making about Logic (Logic in the rigorous sense of the word), and I’m beginning to think that your avoidance of such a simple point is not entirely accidental.

    In other words, when someone such as yourselves make the same “mistake” over and over again, despite well intended truthful information to the contrary there is the distinct possibility that they are doing it on purpose, not as a “mistake” but because they proactively want to, because they BELIEVE (unquestioningly) that it is true and therefore don’t see it as a mistake at all. They actually think that it’s right and that it explains all of their troubles away and absolves them of all personal responsibility or blame for how fucked up everything around them is.

    It’s the Jews! It’s the Jews! It’s the Jews! THEY’RE the ones to blame! They practically INVENTED lying, cheating, stealing and murdering! Just look at who runs all the big evil corporations! The Jews are EVERYWHERE! And they CONSPIRE with each other, too.

    What a pity. For some reason that you choose not to disclose, you are holding fast to the absolutely FALSE presumption that just because a disproportionate number of bad guys are Jews that it should be accepted as a logical statement of fact that all Jews are disproportionately bad.

    Sorry, Charley, but your presumptuous statement is not logical, and therefore it is to that degree simply not true. It is FALSE, as in “Close, but no cigar.” Close doesn’t count. Close only counts in Horseshoes and hand grenades, so no prize for you.

    When others, such as me, attempt to respectfully point out to you that your presumption is not logical because it violates the rules of logic, which I respectfully lay out for you, then you try to “cancel” me (pretty nasty and unhinged stuff, too. Really maliciously intended) like the good and faithful cultist that you are. You are in a cult, you know that, right? You have latched on to a false and illogical belief (in this case the belief is that all Jews are bad and all bad originates from Jews.) and you proclaim and protect that fixed (but nonsensical) stable datum like it was a floating wreckage of your ship that just sank in a storm.

    You have been bamboozled into accepting as factual a false belief that you then cling to as an explanation and solution for the chaos, disconnection, loneliness anxiety and fear that made you run looking for shelter in the first place.

    Instead of waving your anti-semitic battle flag and shouting down anyone who tries to bring you to your senses, consider asking your self the following question instead:

    “Given the irrefutably documented fact that a strikingly disproportionate number of the Bad Guys are hereditary Jews, then WHY is that the case? What sets those individuals apart from the others”

    Do you grok the distinction here? I’m not saying that an extraordinarily high number of Jews aren’t key bad guys. What I’m saying is that it’s not ALL Jews, its just a LOT of Jews, so what makes THAT bunch of Jews so different? Why are they a certain way and others are NOT?

    I’m compelled to restate the question, “Given the irrefutably documented fact that a strikingly disproportionate number of bad guys are hereditary Jews, then WHY is that the case?”

    There is an answer to that question, of course, and you are not going to regain much of your personal sanity until you find it.

    I suggest that you START searching for the answer by first reflecting deeply upon, precisely and accurately, what you consider a Jew to be in the first place. In other words, what does the term Jew mean to you when you think and speak of it?

    For any who are interested, I’m not Jewish in the least nor by any stretch. I’m a dyed in the wool (and cast in the chromosome) Bad Catholic Irishman. (by bad Catholic I mean that the Pope and his Vatican might as well be the Seat of Satan, and that nearly half of the liturgy and much of the clergy are just gonzo, but other than that they’ve got most of the important stuff mostly right, so count me in. In other words, I’m a bad Catholic.

    What is it about Jews? Isn’t there anything they can do honestly and respectably? Why do we tolerate these self-proclaimed sand joggers . . . ?”

    That’s actually a pretty good question, but to answer it properly requires some other factors.

    The first such factor (as odd as this might seem) is that point you raised about humor, comedians, and how hilarious it would be, as example, for Kamala Harris to actually be President (were the reality of such a prospect not so terrifying.)

    The second factor is application of one of the fundamental principles of making logical statements, called “negation”. Basically the principle of “negation” means that for a statement to be logically true then the “negation” of that statement (in other words, a declaration of its opposite) MUST be false. For example, if the statement that apples are red is logically True, then the opposite of the statement . . . . that apples are not red . . . . has to be false. If that opposite declaration is NOT always false, then the original statement cannot be taken as a logically true statement.

    Let’s use as an example the statement that Jews are disreputable crooks. Well, pretty hard to dispute that there sure are a lot of disreputably crooked Jews. Certainly no shortage! But is the statement logically true. Well, no it’s not, because the negation of the statement (which is to say, “NOT all Jews are disreputable crooks”) is NOT always false. In fact, many times it is actually true because there are plenty of Jews of well deserved good repute who aren’t crooks at all, not even towards goyim. So to say that Jews are disreputable crooks, as a proposed logical statement, fails the “negation” test. It ain’t logical.

    So where does that leave us? Well, it leaves us with true answer to both of your questions, “isn’t there anything they can do honestly and respectably?” and, “Why do we tolerate these self-proclaimed sand joggers?

    The answer to question #1 is, Yes, there things that some Jews can do honestly and respectfully, but that doesn’t mean all Jews and it doesn’t tell you which ones are which way.

    And the answer to question #2 is, don’t get confused into tolerating a bad behavior (like crimes) just because common sense requires you to tolerate a word (like Jew).

    What if a jar full of scrolls got discovered in a cave somewhere that revealed that their tribal name wasn’t Jew at all, but had originally been just a descriptive label simply assigned to the people who behaved badly, like burglar or liar?

    That might help a lot. We would have a name that wasn’t based on the conditions imposed by birth, but a name that was instead determined by behavior.

    Come to think of it, haven’t we got names like that already? Words like crook, thief, liar, cheat, deviant, criminal and Zionist. Why not just use THOSE words, and retire that one useless old word back to where it always and only belonged in the first place, the dictionary.
